Jones knows Fizdale from Miami. He's either looking Fizdale out or they don't want to buy out his contract. He worked in the Jazz FO after Vogel was fired in LA and Wade became part owner of the Jazz. Hope he gets a coaching job somewhere else. If they're going to hire someone above Jones, just fire Jones already.

I'm at the point where if the ego twins rebel against Bud they've gotta go. KD and Booker are going through coaches at an insane pace and at some point it's not the coach.

Bill Simmons (love him or hate him) pointed out that Lebron and KD's teams have now gone through 12 head coaches since 2018 or something like that, which is pretty staggering.

To be fair, KD wasn't even playing when Atkinson got fired from the Nets and he only played like 10 games for us before Monty was fired, which he had nothing to do with.

That said, KD and LBJ are probably extremely difficult to coach and get buy-in from.

And yet Vogel won a title with LeBron. Go figure.

Hard not to be apathetic about this until we see what they do with the roster.

This season felt like the dawn of Malaise 2.0.

Also feels like Malaise 2.0 is going to be a lot worse than the original release.

I just found out that Budenholzer was fired right after his brother died in a car crash during the Bucks’ series loss. That is crazy, how did I not hear about this?
